Scaffold Collapses

Scaffold Collapses

People who work on scaffoldings are aware of the inherent risks of these occupations. An unacceptable risk, however, is the failure of construction professionals to follow safety guidelines for the erection and maintenance of scaffoldings.

If you or someone close to you has been injured in a scaffold collapse accident, it is important to consult with an experienced Houston workplace accident attorney. At The Law Firm of Alton C. Todd, we have handled numerous construction accident cases and made a difference in the lives of injured workers and their families. Our attorneys are here to help you pursue maximum compensation for the losses you have suffered due to a scaffold collapse injury.

Have You Been Injured in a Scaffold Accident?

When safety regulations are overlooked in the construction of scaffoldings, people working in and around the scaffolds can suffer serious injuries and even wrongful death. Scaffolding injuries include:

Falls from heights

Workers getting crushed by collapsing scaffoldings

Objects falling from scaffoldings, hitting workers below

When we handle workplace accident claims, we thoroughly investigate all aspects of the accident to determine the cause of the accident and to identify liable parties. Oftentimes, our investigations uncover negligence on the part of a construction site manager, scaffolding contractor, manufacturer or other party.

Third-Party Scaffold Accident Claims

If your scaffolding accident was the result of negligence on the part of a third party (not your employer), you may pursue additional compensation through a personal injury claim. Personal injury law allows for compensation for pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, and other elements not covered by workers' compensation law. Our lawyers can help you pursue all avenues of financial relief, so you can obtain the compensation you need to pay your medical bills and rebuild your life.
